Old, but a nice start for a Monday "Microsoft boss Bill Gates was photographed by the Albuquerque, New Mexico police in 1977 after a traffic violation (details of which have been lost over time)."
The time now is
6:43:24 PM
ET.
Any comment problems?

A bit off topic...
Although this picture should be fine given the source, this just goes to show how dangerous Social Engineering is in relation to Viruses and Worms, and just how dangerous the GDI+ exploit really could be.
For anyone more interested in Bill's speeding tickets, and the early days of MS, you might want to check out the book Hard Drive. Just scroll down to the bootom of the page, and you can link to Amazon which sells the book.

The picture may be old but the big grin on Billy's face tells me that may have been calculating how much to invoice the police for the time they had him in the brig.
